Abstract

Objectives: Moxibustion has been used for various post-stroke symptoms and has also been known to have effect on peripheral blood flow. This study investigated the effect of moxibustion on radial artery blood flow by Doppler ultrasound and on heart rate variability in post-stroke hemiplegia patients. Methods: Moxibustion was applied on the points of LI4, TE3, TE5 and LI11 on the affected side, and blood flow of the radial artery was measured using the Minimax-Doppler-K device. Blood flow velocity and pulsation index were analyzed before, during, and after moxibustion. Simultaneously LF, HF, and LF/HF as variables for HRV were measured by FM-150. Results: The mean value of blood flow velocity in all patients (n=23) showed significant increase between before and after moxibustion, but there was no significant difference in pulsation index and LF, HF, LF/HF ratio between before and after moxibustion. In Yin (n=9) and Yang (n=14) groups, both showed significant increase of blood flow velocity between before and after moxibustion, but there was no significant difference in pulsation index and LF,HF, LF/HF ratio between before and after moxibustion. In Deficiency (n=14) and Fullness (n=9) groups, only the Deficiency group showed significant increase of blood flow velocity between before and after moxibustion, while the Fullness group showed no significant difference in blood flow velocity between before and after moxibustion, and also there was no significant difference in pulsation index and LF, HF, LF/HF ratio between before and after moxibustion. Conclusions: This study suggests that moxibustion on LI4, TE3, TE5 and LI11 on the affected side of stroke patients increase the peripheral blood flow in the affected arm, which was most remarkable in those with Yin and Deficiency pattern.
